any verifiable voting mechanism opens oneself up to vote buying.

if I can use homomorphic encryption to verify my vote I can give the same info needed (say this 128 bit number) to someone else.

Define "verifiable". There are absolutely schemes where I can't verify what my vote was after the fact, but can verify that it was counted.

verify that my vote was counted correctly. i.e. that my vote wasn't changed or fraudelently presented to me.
